The problem is a lot of people don’t play competively for the fun of competition they play purely to increase rank for clout. They don’t want fun competitive games they want easy stomps to gain rank as quick as possible. If a game is anything less than a stomp it’s too much for them to care.
I love a ranked status but you're completely right. it's just insecurity and ego, a good majority of people aren't even wanting an interesting game, just free wins with no improvement. This why I couldn't smurf (unless i was playhing with some low rank homies) cause it's just fucking boring to know u can win every game if u want to.
Honestly, it's best to just mute them and move on. After a while, they stop providing any useful comms anyway. Most of the time, they're probably just having a bad day, and while their behavior isn't great, this might be how they cope. So, instead of engaging, focus on keeping your own spirits and your team's high. Who knows, you might still turn things around and win. Good luck with the grind, everyone!

I do commend Val devs for actually combatting toxic VC/chat but they really went downhill from the "we value competitive integrity" they said they wanted to have. Toxic throwers to smurfs make this games competitive ladder a joke when you consider how severe the rank reset is and toxic players really need more severe punishment. Unrated is sweatier at times than ranked I swear.
@@Azzie-z3b I mean rewatching at that point in the retake they had no cover lol it was far more risky to re-take with no smokes (Neon walls only last 4 seconds) than just using the smoke for the bomb in which they had the Gekko molly to delay even further. Tho someone should've just stuck after the Fade ult hit so that was probably the bigger issue than the Smoke.
Fr. Like even when I am MVP ppl still be like typing in ‘all’ chat, “a woman is top fragging..” why does it matter bro 💀 Then if I’m having a bad game I’ll get “of course you’re a woman.” Like bro at least I give comms Oml. And then the ppl who are just sexually harassing us the whole game.
@@Puff3rfisch yeah they act like they've never had a bad game ever and it's the pressure on women to perform well every game. Even if they do it's not appreciated normally. Valorant e-boys are some pathetic losers
Thank you for showing me that we have all experienced the same thing here. People join with solo or duo queue, instalock duelist, no coms at all, cry while backseat gaming for anything not perfect, com abuse immediately and then flat-out leave or beg for forfeits. Myself and many people I know have comeback from 12-0 down. Weak mental for sure, and unfortunately just so fuckin common. You did a good job dealing with them and taking it in stride. I've been just muting them mostly.
Nah just mute the whole coms and focus on your self this has got me to immortal 3 who cares what they think just mute up and relax play some music don’t give them the benefit of talking to you
You can mute these people, and don't worry about the lack of intel that you can get from them. And remember that they aren't more important than you are. In the end, everyone is playing the game because they wanted to. Don't let their temper tantrums take over your mind.
@@slickwolf5492 even unrated 3 people typed immediately after losing round 1 "why are you running, what are you doing mid, you guys are terrible" and they ff'd as soon at the score hit 4
Ranked on Valorant has been a nightmare and now I kinda don't wanna play Valorant all together without my friends because everyone is so weird in valorant and toxic idk what happened.
Im ngl, i feel like a huge reason for the toxic behavior comes down to people taking Valorant way too seriously. Like the game is their life and nothing but their life. Which is I stopped playing the game, it's been about 5 months since I played Valorant. Compared to Counter Strike, I feel like it's a completely more out going vibe than Valorant. People want to have fun in cs from my experience.
ong i feel the same way. i stopped taking this game seriously long ago and realized that 80% of the time it's just not gonna be a peaceful game. people been throwing left and right and i just roll with the punches but whats more pathetic is that it's not because they are simply just bad. it's simply just because they get enjoyment out of it and it's so funny to watch them rage and try so hard to get under your skin yet when you mute them and do nothing but just continue, you can tell they lost because they just stop trying to get in the way and it's hilarious. like yea. you thought i was gonna give you some sort of entertainment? think again lmfao.
I legit had a super toxic game this morning because a washed duo (two immortals in gold) decided that my off game was just be playing like a b***h or being stupid. Like what do they want from me I’m playing cypher and they keep one tapping me after they break my trips. The worst toxic ppl are the ones who play better than you… Really hurt my mental. Thanks for posting this video.
It just keeps getting worse.. What I don't get is how people are actually incapable of knowing they make mistakes as well and focus on improving that. Even when I'm tilted, when I entry with neon, yes, maybe sometimes I get mad that they didn't help by the initiator using their util, but it doesn't help to blame them. I just think about what I could've done better like throw my stun into a more common angle, using my wall to seperate gunfights etc. So to any duelists reading this: You are not perfect. Don't blame the team when you run onto a site of four people alone. Maybe call out some util you want your team to use to help you. But most importantly, admit your mistakes man, this is how you get hardstuck.
took a few month break and came back and agreed. so many people just wanting to ff and being toxic. Playing Omen and theres always a Jett that tells me how to play but I end up entrying for them cause they cant.
I'm glad to say that no one on Val has ever been able to out-word me. They using they mic and I'm typing in team chat? They still lose. They on they keyboard? They still lose. They screaming into the mic to "drown me out"? Guess what? I'm typing, and they can't help but read it to sate their need for a fight- So they *STILL* lose. I remember a game where there was an obvious new guy to the game playing Chamber and our Renya was just going off- Started flaming the new guy. So, I started typing and taking the heat off the Chamber (Eventually, they left Chamber alone which was my whole goal. I hope the person playing Chamber is doing well). I asked Renya if he wanted better teammates (This is a trap). He said, "Yes. Leave." I simply replied, "Or you can get better MMR. Or what? Too hard for you?" ("Rank [Enter toxic player rank/level here] and still got my level of mmr" is a good comeback too. You don't explicitly state that they are wrong [if you do they get more mad] and at the same time, you're calling them bad [But most people that force me to say that aren't smart enough to understand that]) That's not all about Renya though! There was a good 30 seconds of silence. So, I typed in, "You writing an essay or grabbing more snacks?" Guess who submitted their essay immediately after I sent that message? It's honestly embarrassing how easy it is to read them type of players. Read 'em like a book and played 'em like a fiddle. I didn't even read their message because I was too busy laughing at the irony of it all. They are banned now. To my knowledge they still are for dropping a hard R during the finishing moments of the game. Might just be lucky or most of the toxic Val community is actually really weak and are actually scared of confrontation... But I'm glad I use my toxic powers for good and saving the newbies rather than evil and becoming like those who can't face their parents with integrity and pride...
There was also a time someone told me to go take a shower (A typical insult in Val). My immediate response was going to be, "You too- And while you're there take a look in the mirror and look yourself in the eyes. When's the last time you done that? Too afraid to see what you've become?" But, I decided against it. I don't actually want to hurt they feelings now, do I?
Ok, Let's all be absolutly honest, you where the asshole on 13:09, yes, the KJ went silent+stopped everything for like 5 seconds, but was that voice chat sarcastic sassy "Ohh yeaaaah, super fun game" necessary??? i would mute you as well lol. Now, the full mute + disconecting on round 2 is obviously not apropiate from KJ, but if we talking who started, that's you brother. Just say "yeah we couldn't get out in time sorry" or something like that and move on, if they act toxic after that it's on them
You can definitely tell when Flex (or any player) is on tilt because of how quickly they flame or respond to flame and trolling. Early on in the video he handles the Jett kind of well, but the later games show how being on tilt hurts your ability to deal with people throwing
Being toxic should be a lot more serious offense in all games. They can just say something they could never tell to your face and ruin games. Gaming is fun, and losing is part of it. If you can't handle it, play single-player games or sell your console/pc.
Blatantly running it down and inting isn't "subjective". If someone has a bad game or something, then sure, you could say that. Just cuz you're off a game or two wouldn't make you a thrower. But actually just running it down and not trying like that Neon was is actively throwing the game.
I genuinely love Valorant so it’s sad as hell to me to see it like this from my own gold games and even higher up. (Btw guys if you’re playing bad or having an unlucky game look for ways to encourage or help the teammates that are doing well or good. And vice versa if you’re doing good but someone’s playing rough just try to help them keep a good mental. It does so much work. GL brothers and sisters!)
This is my first video of yours that I’ve watched and the perfect encapsulation of why I will never play valorant. The community has always rubbed me the wrong ways, even from an exterior view.
This season has been an absolute nightmare. Toxic people literally every game who blame everyone else and never take accountability. I seriously just only play swift and unrated cause I'm just over it at this point.
the sad part about playing this game is when the girls are scared to talk because of how sexist players can be when they start losing. They will only communicate via text chat and i hate the community for it.
the insanity of that jett to be playing so bad but still shit talking the entire team and not providing any useful comms. I don't play ranked and just recently got into playing valorant but this is one reason why I'm honestly scared of even starting. I want to put some time in to get good at a game but this seems draining.
YESSSS THIS VIDEO IS SO FUCKING TRUE. I WENT INTO GRIMS CHAT AND ASKED IF WVERONE WAS EXTREMLY TOXIC AND WEIRD AND HE SAID THEY WERE. THIS IS YOUR BEST VID YET
main reason I always think twice before coming back to this game. Absolute idiots think they are above everyone when they are literally the worst player on the team
If a teammate is being toxic to me while i play sage and bottom frag, idc tbh. I just find it hysterical that they're mad while i play support and anti support.
Start on attack side and the Duelist is upset the Sentinel can’t get kills and secure the site the team never got to! lol Team picked 3 duelist and no Instigators so we rarely got any plants.
@@YukioKokoko i know that valorant isn't league. Anyway, if you use sage's wall and grimm wall yourself, you will be at a different angle and helping your teammates win games by also getting yourself into the minds of your opponents at an off angle when you boost yourself and/or your teammates for instance.
@@YukioKokoko i forgot to mention that if you watch vivance's sage competitive video, he breaks down sage's tool kit and how to play as a sage main, while he also explains what support and anti support are.
@@TheBeauSimon yea but in valo there is no such thing as support. You can pretend there is by making silly terms but there just isnt. This isnt league, overwatch or dota. Supports hang back and assists the team, but in valorant every player is crucial in assisting the team as a whole in order to win and hanging back isnt really viable other than when playing ct side. There isnt designated roles in valorant like in your typical moba or class based game. There is a reason why nobody uses terms like support in this game, in pro play or ranked.
"phoenix(or various duelist) i know your first push down mid got one kill.. but the enemy do learn and youve pushed mid 4 rounds in a row; then died because theyre holding you.. now mid is undefended.. please can you not push mid anymore?" "F£$K YOU BOT! i do what i like! i throw now!" "you were already throwing mate..."
hahaha yea its unfortunate tht normal players r stuck between 2 extremes, toxic people, and people who call u toxic nd cry bcz u asked them something as simple as playing w the team.
Ok im not gonna lie, this Guy made a video to Expose those who are toxic, but for the second game with neon, you guys were being toxic he was just trying to prove his point, but you and your duo decided to start calling him brain dead and other things, because he just used a simple phrase. I understand that you are toxic to the people the are toxic to you, but it’s just too far bro like imagine ganging up on someone with two people to the point they rage quit.
Bro he started shit talking after losing 1 round, the pistol round, because he got 3 and the team lost, then proceeds to go afk and use "playstyle" as an excuse to not get reported.
It’s been like this across all ranks, my friends silver to plat games and my asc and immo games are all the exact same experience just at different skill levels. full mutes, ironically toxic players, manchilds, throwers for the sake of “my TH-cam video”, and SOOOOO much more. Ppl just make a new account or buy a new level lvl30 account for like $2. It’s gotten even worse with even more egotistical fucks instalocking chamber and bottom fragging followed by flaming the team. I just can’t with this game anymore bro. The mental effort and time is not worth playing unless I’m doing spike rush or 5-stacking.
its been rough man, its my first time playing since ep4 were i got plat1 then burnt out and im climbing again started silv2 and im currently d2 aiming for ascendant next act and maybe immortal for end of ep. BUT MANNN diamond/ascendant lobbies have been FULL of these of people
I truly believe riot puts in nearly zero effort into cultuvating a good team environment with strangers. The least they could do is let you unlock at the select screen.
in the game where the neon sold was very similar to when this gecko I had in my lobby stopped playing the game in round 3 and just kept spamming voice lines. i was shocked
As a person who myself has 'different' gameplay from others, I hate it when someone tells me how to play Your omen is clean, do not enter into discussions with these people
That's why playing with randoms be toxic af when im playing in a team with my friends that doesn't happen, some people are generally peaceful but many are just straight up toxic ngl 😢
As a bronze who started a few months ago, ever since i started playing ranked, at least once every 3 games theres an afk in one or the other team, while ppl are mostly nice in this rank, they just give up after 5 lost rounds and start scrolling tiktok or just straight up go AFK, like if u are queueing comp, then how about PLAYING THE GAME. like there must be a reason they are hardstuck iron but they are just too stupid to understand.

Toxic throwers to smurfs make this games competitive ladder a joke when you consider how severe the rank reset is and toxic players really need more severe punishment. Unrated is sweatier at times than ranked I swear.
I say the f word on the game but the 2 trolls saying the n word and throwing do t get banned😢
you don't know what true toxicity is like
It's not a competition bro
YOU DON'T TELL FLEXINJA WHERE TO SMOKE HELLO?!
Ikr,
Tho he prolly should've smoked bomb instead of just tping right into 4 people 1:05 then they could've stuck
@@Azzie-z3b he explained later in the video that he smoked heaven to cover jett. He tp'ed out because that was the fastest way to trade jett
@@Azzie-z3b the things i do to try to get crazy omen clips
@@Azzie-z3b I mean rewatching at that point in the retake they had no cover lol it was far more risky to re-take with no smokes (Neon walls only last 4 seconds) than just using the smoke for the bomb in which they had the Gekko molly to delay even further. Tho someone should've just stuck after the Fade ult hit so that was probably the bigger issue than the Smoke.
I was once in a University team for Rocket League and we would get kicked out for that kind of behavior.
thank u for standing up to those guys for being sexist :) it is great to see ppl actually calling out val players when theyre being horrible to women
Fr. Like even when I am MVP ppl still be like typing in ‘all’ chat, “a woman is top fragging..” why does it matter bro 💀
Then if I’m having a bad game I’ll get “of course you’re a woman.” Like bro at least I give comms Oml.
And then the ppl who are just sexually harassing us the whole game.
@@Puff3rfisch yeah they act like they've never had a bad game ever and it's the pressure on women to perform well every game. Even if they do it's not appreciated normally. Valorant e-boys are some pathetic losers
1:23 “first time omen” 😂 I’m definitely using that one in the future lmao
Oh look, a recap of every solo queue comp experience I've ever had!
Thank you for showing me that we have all experienced the same thing here. People join with solo or duo queue, instalock duelist, no coms at all, cry while backseat gaming for anything not perfect, com abuse immediately and then flat-out leave or beg for forfeits. Myself and many people I know have comeback from 12-0 down. Weak mental for sure, and unfortunately just so fuckin common. You did a good job dealing with them and taking it in stride. I've been just muting them mostly.
Ur also one of them lol
Cant watch till the end. These toxic player will ruin my mood. Love how you stay positive all time. Keep up the good work flex
9:23 showcases that toxicity just spreads and unfortunately those who point it out also give in to it, we are all toxic
Was not expecting the guest appearance of Toxic Kermit the Frog @ 22:46, definitely made the video.
I feel anxious about this and dont play solo when im ascendant and above. How can you have the mentality to talk back to this ppl? I need it.
Confidence brother, if you arent confident people like this walk all over you
@@Im2Artsy ah shit, I thought my low self esteem only affect me irl. not in my games too.
Nah just mute the whole coms and focus on your self this has got me to immortal 3 who cares what they think just mute up and relax play some music don’t give them the benefit of talking to you
You can mute these people, and don't worry about the lack of intel that you can get from them.
And remember that they aren't more important than you are. In the end, everyone is playing the game because they wanted to. Don't let their temper tantrums take over your mind.
Insta mute em. No second chances
I literally got told to off myself in swiftplay because I was trying omen and didn't know where to place my smoke
lol who tf takes swiftplay that seriously? Embarrassing
@@slickwolf5492 unemployed grown ass men that's who
@@slickwolf5492 even unrated 3 people typed immediately after losing round 1 "why are you running, what are you doing mid, you guys are terrible" and they ff'd as soon at the score hit 4
this dude got the valorant accent on lock
what 4 years of Valorant does to a mfer...
Flexinja is as cringe as the Trolls
Ranked on Valorant has been a nightmare and now I kinda don't wanna play Valorant all together without my friends because everyone is so weird in valorant and toxic idk what happened.
Im ngl, i feel like a huge reason for the toxic behavior comes down to people taking Valorant way too seriously. Like the game is their life and nothing but their life. Which is I stopped playing the game, it's been about 5 months since I played Valorant. Compared to Counter Strike, I feel like it's a completely more out going vibe than Valorant. People want to have fun in cs from my experience.
ong i feel the same way. i stopped taking this game seriously long ago and realized that 80% of the time it's just not gonna be a peaceful game. people been throwing left and right and i just roll with the punches but whats more pathetic is that it's not because they are simply just bad. it's simply just because they get enjoyment out of it and it's so funny to watch them rage and try so hard to get under your skin yet when you mute them and do nothing but just continue, you can tell they lost because they just stop trying to get in the way and it's hilarious. like yea. you thought i was gonna give you some sort of entertainment? think again lmfao.
Yep if I cant que with friends I just play a couple of swifts and tdms
Call it a day
The player base like any game eventually rots
I dont know what cs youve been playing but in my 3000 hours of playing cs i can confidently say valorant and cs are both equally as toxic
dam bro what server are you on cs go for me is the most toxic game in the world for me i go to valorant to escape all the toxic stuff
I legit had a super toxic game this morning because a washed duo (two immortals in gold) decided that my off game was just be playing like a b***h or being stupid. Like what do they want from me I’m playing cypher and they keep one tapping me after they break my trips. The worst toxic ppl are the ones who play better than you… Really hurt my mental. Thanks for posting this video.
It just keeps getting worse..
What I don't get is how people are actually incapable of knowing they make mistakes as well and focus on improving that. Even when I'm tilted, when I entry with neon, yes, maybe sometimes I get mad that they didn't help by the initiator using their util, but it doesn't help to blame them. I just think about what I could've done better like throw my stun into a more common angle, using my wall to seperate gunfights etc.
So to any duelists reading this:
You are not perfect. Don't blame the team when you run onto a site of four people alone. Maybe call out some util you want your team to use to help you. But most importantly, admit your mistakes man, this is how you get hardstuck.
took a few month break and came back and agreed. so many people just wanting to ff and being toxic. Playing Omen and theres always a Jett that tells me how to play but I end up entrying for them cause they cant.
bout to ruin that college kids life
ngl you should do another compilation of these, actually hella entertaining to watch
I'm glad to say that no one on Val has ever been able to out-word me. They using they mic and I'm typing in team chat? They still lose. They on they keyboard? They still lose. They screaming into the mic to "drown me out"? Guess what? I'm typing, and they can't help but read it to sate their need for a fight- So they *STILL* lose.
I remember a game where there was an obvious new guy to the game playing Chamber and our Renya was just going off- Started flaming the new guy. So, I started typing and taking the heat off the Chamber (Eventually, they left Chamber alone which was my whole goal. I hope the person playing Chamber is doing well).
I asked Renya if he wanted better teammates (This is a trap). He said, "Yes. Leave." I simply replied, "Or you can get better MMR. Or what? Too hard for you?"
("Rank [Enter toxic player rank/level here] and still got my level of mmr" is a good comeback too. You don't explicitly state that they are wrong [if you do they get more mad] and at the same time, you're calling them bad [But most people that force me to say that aren't smart enough to understand that])
That's not all about Renya though! There was a good 30 seconds of silence. So, I typed in, "You writing an essay or grabbing more snacks?" Guess who submitted their essay immediately after I sent that message? It's honestly embarrassing how easy it is to read them type of players. Read 'em like a book and played 'em like a fiddle. I didn't even read their message because I was too busy laughing at the irony of it all.
They are banned now. To my knowledge they still are for dropping a hard R during the finishing moments of the game.
Might just be lucky or most of the toxic Val community is actually really weak and are actually scared of confrontation... But I'm glad I use my toxic powers for good and saving the newbies rather than evil and becoming like those who can't face their parents with integrity and pride...
There was also a time someone told me to go take a shower (A typical insult in Val).
My immediate response was going to be, "You too- And while you're there take a look in the mirror and look yourself in the eyes. When's the last time you done that? Too afraid to see what you've become?"
But, I decided against it. I don't actually want to hurt they feelings now, do I?
Dang dude, wow
Are you okay ? Maybe you should take a pause from online lmao
nah lowk probably the best valo video i’ve seen in a while flex my goat
"I'm not tired of playing omen, I just tired of playing valorant."
--Flexinja
Ok, Let's all be absolutly honest, you where the asshole on 13:09, yes, the KJ went silent+stopped everything for like 5 seconds, but was that voice chat sarcastic sassy "Ohh yeaaaah, super fun game" necessary??? i would mute you as well lol. Now, the full mute + disconecting on round 2 is obviously not apropiate from KJ, but if we talking who started, that's you brother. Just say "yeah we couldn't get out in time sorry" or something like that and move on, if they act toxic after that it's on them
You can definitely tell when Flex (or any player) is on tilt because of how quickly they flame or respond to flame and trolling. Early on in the video he handles the Jett kind of well, but the later games show how being on tilt hurts your ability to deal with people throwing
The sova on ascent sounds like kermit the frog
subjectively flex is the chillest dude like i would fking lose my mind with these players
am i trippin or do i think the question at 19:26 wasn't sexist ... he said every girl HE has a game with
Being toxic should be a lot more serious offense in all games. They can just say something they could never tell to your face and ruin games. Gaming is fun, and losing is part of it. If you can't handle it, play single-player games or sell your console/pc.
It helps if you don’t aggravate them in the first round
bros only defense was " okay and? " HAHAHAHAHA
Blatantly running it down and inting isn't "subjective". If someone has a bad game or something, then sure, you could say that. Just cuz you're off a game or two wouldn't make you a thrower. But actually just running it down and not trying like that Neon was is actively throwing the game.
I genuinely love Valorant so it’s sad as hell to me to see it like this from my own gold games and even higher up.
(Btw guys if you’re playing bad or having an unlucky game look for ways to encourage or help the teammates that are doing well or good. And vice versa if you’re doing good but someone’s playing rough just try to help them keep a good mental. It does so much work. GL brothers and sisters!)
GFU Rick isn’t even on the main squad. He’s a substitute
he better stay a sub 😭
This is my first video of yours that I’ve watched and the perfect encapsulation of why I will never play valorant. The community has always rubbed me the wrong ways, even from an exterior view.
I took a year off and thought that it would help. I was wrong, people just can't drop their egos and have a good time gaming anymore. sad
This season has been an absolute nightmare. Toxic people literally every game who blame everyone else and never take accountability. I seriously just only play swift and unrated cause I'm just over it at this point.
the sad part about playing this game is when the girls are scared to talk because of how sexist players can be when they start losing. They will only communicate via text chat and i hate the community for it.
Sucks that its even a problem to begin with
The first offense I usually mute people, Valorant players are extremely annoying, I don't have the patience to argue
the insanity of that jett to be playing so bad but still shit talking the entire team and not providing any useful comms. I don't play ranked and just recently got into playing valorant but this is one reason why I'm honestly scared of even starting. I want to put some time in to get good at a game but this seems draining.
YESSSS THIS VIDEO IS SO FUCKING TRUE. I WENT INTO GRIMS CHAT AND ASKED IF WVERONE WAS EXTREMLY TOXIC AND WEIRD AND HE SAID THEY WERE. THIS IS YOUR BEST VID YET
3:11 playing with felonies is the word XD
I appreciate you taking the mental damage by listening to these guys for the content. you a real one, Flex.
Val accent is insane
6:00 "no you're stuck in here with us" lmao. Just found your channel and love it man
This TH-camr is the problem in half the clips 😂
Crosshair?
flex ninja lowkey the most handsome valorant player, like damn
main reason I always think twice before coming back to this game. Absolute idiots think they are above everyone when they are literally the worst player on the team
yea bros just gonna expose us all with these videos now...
coming from cs, the intro is spot on. valorant are literally children who will give up every time the win isn't completely free.
Its hypocritical to call people toxic when you goat and egg them on and be toxic back to them. Two wrongs dont make a right.
IKR that's what I'm saying... but all these comments are like "Thank you for exposing these toxic players" what? He is part of the problem 😂
If a teammate is being toxic to me while i play sage and bottom frag, idc tbh. I just find it hysterical that they're mad while i play support and anti support.
Start on attack side and the Duelist is upset the Sentinel can’t get kills and secure the site the team never got to! lol
Team picked 3 duelist and no Instigators so we rarely got any plants.
There isnt such roles in valorant though? What even is anti support in the context of valorant agents? Valorant isnt league.
Im genuenly confused here
@@YukioKokoko i know that valorant isn't league. Anyway, if you use sage's wall and grimm wall yourself, you will be at a different angle and helping your teammates win games by also getting yourself into the minds of your opponents at an off angle when you boost yourself and/or your teammates for instance.
@@YukioKokoko i forgot to mention that if you watch vivance's sage competitive video, he breaks down sage's tool kit and how to play as a sage main, while he also explains what support and anti support are.
@@TheBeauSimon yea but in valo there is no such thing as support. You can pretend there is by making silly terms but there just isnt. This isnt league, overwatch or dota. Supports hang back and assists the team, but in valorant every player is crucial in assisting the team as a whole in order to win and hanging back isnt really viable other than when playing ct side.
There isnt designated roles in valorant like in your typical moba or class based game. There is a reason why nobody uses terms like support in this game, in pro play or ranked.
Oke maybe it’s just my opinion but bro is just as rude and annoying as the guys in the video 😅
Agreed
That first abyss game summed up my entire abyss experience ep 9 act 2, i had a 20% winrate on that map, and still lost even when i did well
"phoenix(or various duelist) i know your first push down mid got one kill.. but the enemy do learn and youve pushed mid 4 rounds in a row; then died because theyre holding you.. now mid is undefended.. please can you not push mid anymore?"
"F£$K YOU BOT! i do what i like! i throw now!"
"you were already throwing mate..."
hahaha yea its unfortunate tht normal players r stuck between 2 extremes, toxic people, and people who call u toxic nd cry bcz u asked them something as simple as playing w the team.
I love laughing in this type of person’s face, makes them snap out of it real quick
Ok im not gonna lie, this Guy made a video to Expose those who are toxic, but for the second game with neon, you guys were being toxic he was just trying to prove his point, but you and your duo decided to start calling him brain dead and other things, because he just used a simple phrase. I understand that you are toxic to the people the are toxic to you, but it’s just too far bro like imagine ganging up on someone with two people to the point they rage quit.
Found the neon 😂🫵
Bro he started shit talking after losing 1 round, the pistol round, because he got 3 and the team lost, then proceeds to go afk and use "playstyle" as an excuse to not get reported.
He's literally sitting in spawn and shit talking, people like him do not deserve to be playing the game
If you can’t handle the toxicity thrown at you BECAUSE YOU STARTED IT then zip it and cope
The Neon started it first😂
It’s been like this across all ranks, my friends silver to plat games and my asc and immo games are all the exact same experience just at different skill levels. full mutes, ironically toxic players, manchilds, throwers for the sake of “my TH-cam video”, and SOOOOO much more. Ppl just make a new account or buy a new level lvl30 account for like $2. It’s gotten even worse with even more egotistical fucks instalocking chamber and bottom fragging followed by flaming the team. I just can’t with this game anymore bro. The mental effort and time is not worth playing unless I’m doing spike rush or 5-stacking.
Youre actually annoying yourself ngl
The second hand frustration i got from this is insane LMFAO
I don’t understand how this guy complains about toxicity but legit calls ppl brain dead and does toxic shi back 🤣
are you serious lol
If someone punch me i would punch them back so if someone is toxic to him he would be toxic back
@@niddeyy2160ur def a cornball 😭😭😭😭
I love seeing this side of u its very funny, its so much easier to win when everyone is nice even losing is fine in those lobbies, ur the goat
All in short Abyss Is A Shit Map 😂💩
its been rough man, its my first time playing since ep4 were i got plat1 then burnt out and im climbing again started silv2 and im currently d2 aiming for ascendant next act and maybe immortal for end of ep. BUT MANNN diamond/ascendant lobbies have been FULL of these of people

I truly believe riot puts in nearly zero effort into cultuvating a good team environment with strangers. The least they could do is let you unlock at the select screen.
the amount of times i have heard "OMAAAAN SmokE HAVAAAANN" playing ranked
in the game where the neon sold was very similar to when this gecko I had in my lobby stopped playing the game in round 3 and just kept spamming voice lines. i was shocked
As a person who myself has 'different' gameplay from others, I hate it when someone tells me how to play
Your omen is clean, do not enter into discussions with these people
my approach to toxic people: i immediately mute then, voice+text.
"Throwing is subjective" LMFAO
That's why playing with randoms be toxic af when im playing in a team with my friends that doesn't happen, some people are generally peaceful but many are just straight up toxic ngl 😢
I mean i get being toxic while topfragging when your team is doing nothing, but trashtalking while being the only one throwing is just funny lol
The Jett being 2 and 8 and calling everyone bad is wild.
It’s strange how often the toxic trash talkers are duelists (Jett and Reyna mains)
May I say your aim is cracked, you aim better with toxic teammates than I do with positive ones
The fact that this happens across the world is insane.
As a bronze who started a few months ago, ever since i started playing ranked, at least once every 3 games theres an afk in one or the other team, while ppl are mostly nice in this rank, they just give up after 5 lost rounds and start scrolling tiktok or just straight up go AFK, like if u are queueing comp, then how about PLAYING THE GAME. like there must be a reason they are hardstuck iron but they are just too stupid to understand.
The fact that they all had the valorant accent is crazy lmao
